Case <br /> <br /> DEVELOPMENT SIGNS <br />By: Megan Wald, Associate Planner <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the October 13, 2004 EDA meeting, the authority directed staff to solicit input from EDAM members related <br />to language ideas for economic development signs. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Staff sent a mass email to all EDAM members asking if anyone has utilized signs that promote City initiated <br />economic development projects. Staff received several emails stating that such a sign would be a great idea but <br />nobody had an existing economic development sign. Several cities utilize land use or zoning signs to signify a <br />land use application has been submitted to the City. <br /> <br />Staff received one flyer in the mail (attached to this case) that states "IMPROVING OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, <br />THIS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT IS A JOINT EFFORT OF THE CITY OF COLUMBIA <br />HEIGHTS AND THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY." <br /> <br />Recommendation:' <br /> <br />The EDA should review the attached flyer as a starting point in discussing appropriate language for economic <br />development signs in Ramsey. Staff recommends that the EDA make a determination on appropriate language <br />to be contained on the signs and direct staff to begin working with TJ & Associates. It is important to establish <br />language that reflects the intent and purpose the signs are intended to serve. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />Sean Sullivan <br /> <br />EDA: 11.1.0.04 <br /> <br /> <br />
